Woman Claiming to Be Vampire Bites Senior Citizen

Josephine Smith wasn’t kidding when she approached 69-year-old Milton Ellis Wednesday night in the parking lot of a shuttered St. Petersburg, Florida Hooters and declared “I’m a vampire, I am going to eat you.”

When the police found Smith she was still in the Hooters parking lot, covered in blood and not wearing any pants or underwear. She wasn’t able to offer up to the authorities any coherent explanation for the blood or the half-nudity. Smith is being charged with felony aggravated battery on an elderly person, and remains in jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
